Constantine P. Cavafy. Poems

by Manolis Aligizakis ...

Translations, like everything else, wear out over time, as language, and those who read or use it, change. With a poet like Cavafy, who was so precisely tuned to the idiom of his peers, it is even more important to update the English versions of his poems frequently, so that they have the same immediate resonance with the times as the originals had with their time. This is, of course, an ... Read more

Titos Patrikios: SelectedPoems

by Manolis Aligizakis ...

I write because I enjoy it and because it torments me. However, today's way of life doesn't inspire me although I may write about it in the near future. I keep notes, observe pictures, process stimuli, and compose thoughts. From these, a material may emerge that may be channeled into verse later on. All certainties are under scrutiny and revision and the bottom line is that I can't exist without ... Read more

Neo-Hellene Poets: An Anthology of Modern Greek Poetry: 1750-2018

by Manolis Aligizakis ...

The most extensive and most comprehensible anthology of modern Greek poetry in English.While many serious readers in Canada will have been exposed to the ancients, and to the works of some, high-profile modernists—like Cafavy, Seferis and, perhaps, even Ritsos—most Modern Greek poetry has remained largely out of reach for English-speaking monoglots. But that is changing quickly, chiefly as the ... Read more

Nikos Engonopoulos - Poems

by Manolis Aligizakis ...

My father was a man who knew how to talk to a young child, he could enter my world and stir my interest. While he was still alive, I typed all his handwritten works. After his passing, I discovered a partially typed and handwritten piece of work. It consisted of 4-5 translations and a few prose pieces, which I passed to his publisher. I have always been awed by his work, and these days I realize ... Read more

Impluses

by Manolis Aligizakis ...

Sometimes words are ghosts dancing with myth and memory. Greek-Canadian poet Manolis Aligizakis demonstrates this in Impulses, his new collection of poems. His poetry springs from a congenital intimacy with a culture and its history. In essence, we are before a poetic glance that is also a revolving metaphor encircling feelings from a Mediterranean philosophy.Poets tend to be witnesses of ... Read more
